ᴹQ. korin n. “circular enclosure” (Category: Circle)
A word in The Etymologies of the 1930s glossed “circular enclosure” under the root ᴹ√KOR “round” (Ety/KOR).
Conceptual Development: The Qenya Lexicon of the 1910s had ᴱQ. korin “a circular enclosure, esp. on a hill-top, a dun, tún, or burg; city on a hill”, based on the early root ᴱ√KORO “be round, roll” (QL/48). In the contemporaneous Lost Tales, Tolkien described korin as “a great circular hedge, be it of stone or of thorn or even of trees, that encloses a green sward” (LT1/16).
